Password Security
With most websites requiring you to create an account, do you find yourself in a bit of a pickle when it comes to inventing passwords? Many people use the same password for all their online accounts and often forget the password they came up with months ago. Hands up who doesn’t feel like banging your head against the wall trying to remember the password you created months ago?
Let’s face it - everyone has problems with creating and remembering secure passwords. That’s why we decided to help.
Tips on how to create and remember your passwords :
• Use the first letters of a sentence that you will remember,e.g. "I have 3 cats: Fluffy, Furry and Shaggy" gives: Ih3c:FF&S, or “Bouncing tigers have every right to ice-cream” becomes: Bther2I-C.
• Take the name of the website and then add your personal twist, like your height or your friend’s home address (e.g. “AmazonOceanRd6’ 2”). Avoid using your own contact details like your phone number or house number.
• Remove the vowels from a word or phrase e.g. "I like eating pancakes” becomes: Ilktngpncks”.
• Use a phrase from your favourite book and then add the page, paragraph or chapter number.
